To add to this, If you’re a Ukrainian child in one of the cities recently shelled by the Russian navy you probably won’t care much - you’re too fucking dead.

Musk decided he wasn’t happy with Ukraine taking out elements of the Russian navy, so he just disabled starlink in that area, stopping the attack on the ships that went on to target civilian populations.

Musk has unparalleled visibility over the lines of battle in that war, and the power to shut off most communications there. He’s using that visibility and power to support an autocratic enemy of the United States that’s invading a sovereign democracy. The only thing preventing him being tried for treason is the lack of a formal declaration of war between the US and Russia. Did I mention that he’s chasing US defence contracts, and is the US’s only ticket to space?

No big deal.
